I have the template I used for my KR-2 Tri-gear using the Grumman blanks.
The template is for the aft facing gear legs. Tri-gear and tail dragger
legs are not interchangeable. The Grumman blanks are 1-inch thick; you will
need to plane them down to 3/4-inch thick. A bench mounted power planer
will do the job; just make several passes to gradually get it done. The
glass fibers are tough.
The difference for the aft facing and forward facing gear legs is the
location of the bolt holes and the sweep angle of the leg after it leaves
the spar mounting bracket. The forward facing gear leg does not sweep as
much as the aft facing leg. The toe is established when you drill the holes
for the axle adapter bracket. Fine adjustments for toe and camber can be
made with shims at the axle mounting bolts. Do it correctly when you drill
the holes in the fiberglass and you will not need the shims.

I am wondering if anyone has a template or dimensions that I should cut the
Grumman gear legs down to for my Kr2.
The original weight of C-GSJS was just over 400 lbs. I don't want to make
these new legs ( removed the original retracts) too stiff but sure don't
want them to fail.
I will also be adding tubing for the brake lines as per the archives emails.
I will have to check the measurements but I think 1 inch thick and quite
wide.
Thanks

What I did to get my measurements was to take the pictures off of NV Aero's
website and Mark Langford website and interpolator them to my measurements.
